The second coming: Baxter, Keshi & managers who went back

tory Manchester City put their away day troubles behind them with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Pep Guardiola's side had lost three of their last four Premier League games on the road, but were rarely troubled against an out-of-sorts Seagulls side who were never really at the races. Raheem Sterling curled home the opening goal from 20 yards out. Raheem Sterling was the main beneficiary for City, picking up a hat-trick to take his season's goal tally to 27 in all...

'If Kenyan clubs overhaul winning team, how will they be successful?' - Selebwa

Keen to bolster their own pockets and *cough*, 'take the club to the next level', football owners across the continent are constantly angling to increase their stadium's capacity. Sometimes this can't be achieved by a simple expansion. Sometimes an entire new stadium is required. Tottenham are the latest proponents, moving into the unimaginably named Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season. Despite all the excitement created by the shiny arena, the first season at their new home has been...

The Premier League Sides Who Should Be Looking at Brentford’s Saïd Benrahma

Paul Pogba Has No Reason to Leave Man Utd Now - They Can Fulfil All His Ambitions

When Paul Pogba rejoined Manchester United in 2016, he explained how moving back to Old Trafford would help him achieve all the aims he has set himself for his career. Winning trophies, playing at the top against the very best for a club with a clear identity and direction, etc. But this hasn't been the case. Yes, United went on to win the Europa League in 2017, but winning such competition wasn't exactly what the world's most expensive player at the time signed up for. No, he wanted Europe's...
